Popular Kannywood actress Ummi Ibrahim has revealed that her
loss of N450million to a conman was the reason she contemplated suicide
The loss, in what she deemed to be her biggest investment,
had made her fall into depression.
She shared her financial agony in an interview with Baraka
Bashir, on VOA Hausa at the weekend.
She said the conman had been her business partner for
sometime, until he showed his true colour, after tempting her with crude oil
business.
“I didn’t know the man is a fraudster. He defrauded me of
huge amount of money and ran away. I sent him N450 million in dollars and he
left with it.
“I called his number severally but it is switched off. When
I checked his social media accounts, I found out that he had blocked me in all
of them.”
“I now live in Lagos. It was here that I met him and this is
not the first time I had done business with him.
“What surprised me was that he came with some Europeans to
prove to me that the business was real and a serious one. So, I never believed he
will cheat me.”
Last Sunday, Ummi had shared with her Instagram followers
her agony.
“This days i live a MISERABLE life to the extend(sic) that I
want to commit SUICIDE ,but please non of any body should ask me why ?
“All I need from you people is a PRAYER”, she wrote.
Her post earned a rebuke from Senator Shehu Sani, who wrote:
“You think of your Life as miserable while you are an
inspiration to millions of others.You are a height and a destination others
want to reach.There is no perfect life and no life without trouble.It just come
to us in different forms and different degrees.
“Nature has never promised us a life without challenges and
troubles,but it has given us the soul to confront them and the spirit to
overcome them.What defines us is not our crisis and problems but how we embrace
it and stood up to it.
“When your life is guided by the powers of faith and not
vanities,nothing over excites you or saddens you;and nothing ruins you.Every
man has an app in him and her to defy the odds of life by viewing them as a
passing phase.
You many not see the frustrations and pains of others not
because they don’t have it,but they have the powers to suppress or conceal it.
“When you feel like given up because you failed and you try
and failed again, be comforted the God of those who succeeded is still the God
you are praying to.
“Never measure your life in terms of physical failures and
successes but always appreciate the Journey and the modest impact you made in
the life of others.
“The rich and comfortable man you think Is happy is indeed
physically happy but inside of him exist mountains of fears and troubles
concealed in a wrap of vanities”.
Ummi carved a name for herself in Kannywood in the last
decade.
She starred in popular films such as “Gender,” “Gambiza” and
“Flag of Love”.
And then suddenly stopped acting.
